CME Group will launch Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Uniswap (UNI) futures on October 19, pending regulatory review, the exchange announced on Tuesday, and BCH climbed from $270 to $328 on Binance within 90 minutes of the 8:30 a.m. ET release. It kept surging in the following hours to $340, while UNI is currently up by 15% to over $10.<\/p>\n
Each asset gets a full-size and a Micro contract: 250 BCH and 25 BCH for Bitcoin Cash, 10,000 UNI and 1,000 UNI for Uniswap.<\/p>\n
The contracts join<\/a> a single-asset lineup that already covers Bitcoin (BTC), Ether, XRP, Solana, Cardano, Chainlink, Stellar, Avalanche and Sui, and will trade on Globex, where CME began<\/a> around-the-clock crypto trading on May 29.<\/p>\n “As crypto markets continue to mature, participants require broader, regulated tools to navigate evolving digital asset related price risk,” said Giovanni Vicioso, Global Head of Cryptocurrency Products at CME Group, adding that the contracts give clients exposure to “key crypto networks within our 24\/7, regulated marketplace.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n BCH is among the top performers on a 24-hour scale today, surging by 28% to a multi-month peak of $340. Bitcoin moved 1.1% over the same window on Binance, and the total crypto market cap gained 1.8% over 24 hours, per CoinGecko.<\/p>\n BCH closed at $216.74 on September 16 and is up 55% since then to $340, per CoinGecko, in the same stretch that took<\/a> Bitcoin to an eight-month high above $87,000 on Tuesday, with BCH among the altcoins posting larger gains. The token remains 91.5% below its December 2017 peak of $3,785.82.<\/p>\n Uniswap’s token experienced a similar double-digit increase as well, currently showing a 15% surge since yesterday. As a result, it has topped $10.<\/p>\n UNI is up 64% over seven days and 105% over 30 days, per CoinGecko, after a 30% jump<\/a> to a 10-month high near $9.20 on September 18, which followed the SEC’s innovation exemption for on-chain trading of tokenized stocks.<\/p>\n CME reported first-half 2026 crypto futures and options average daily volume of 279,800 contracts, $8.3 billion in notional, with average open interest of 264,600 contracts, or $15.4 billion. The five altcoin futures added this year, Cardano, Chainlink, Stellar, Avalanche and Sui, have traded more than $1 billion in notional value year-to-date. August cryptocurrency ADV came in at 175,000 contracts, $12 billion notional, per the exchange’s September 2 volume report.<\/p>\n Noel Kimmel, President at Ripple Prime, said in the release that institutions managing crypto exposure “need around-the-clock access to regulated derivatives, underpinned by the clearing and financing infrastructure to match.”<\/p>\n The post Bitcoin Cash and Uniswap Explode by Double Digits as CME Announces Futures Launch<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
